BYOD is here to stay.

Do you work smarter on your own tablet, smartphone or laptop? Go for it, says corporate IT.

BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)
is safely past the flash-in-the pan
stage: recent research has
found that by 2017 half of the
world’s employers may impose a
mandatory BYOD policy requiring
employees to bring their own
laptops, tablets or smartphones
to work and that over 70% of
mobile professionals will conduct
their work on personal smart
devices by 2018.

Forrester® completed a survey of 5,102
businesses and found that workers are
plunking down $1,253 annually on computers
to do their jobs. Let’s face it, the BYOD
phenomenon is hitting the mainstream—and
drawing the watchful eyes of IT managers
everywhere.

IT’S ABOUT TOOLS (NOT TEXTING)

At its outset, BYOD spawned fears of Angry
Birds™, Facebook® and texting killing
productivity, but as the trend matures, it
turns out that workers are using their devices
to augment their skills, not waste away work
hours. As Forrester analyst David Johnson
points out, “When the tools a person depends
on for their job belong to them … they will buy
tools that align best with their own strengths
and help them do the best work they can.”

FINE-TUNING WORK-LIFE BALANCE

BYOD means ease of use for workers and
more productivity for companies that
implement a well-run BYOD plan. Armed with
her own iPad®, a worker might read personal
email, check Twitter®, update her Outlook®
calendar and sit in on a video call—all while
waiting to pick up her child from school.

BYOD has big benefits for business too. Less
time offline for workers means projects move
forward more quickly and critical business
decisions aren’t restricted to the 9-to-5 world.
And while organizations and employees have
yet to work out all the BYOD kinks, those extra
tablets, smartphones and personal computers
you see your coworkers toting around look like
they’re here to stay.
